Fallout 4 How To Enable Achievements With Mods
Fallout 4 is a post-apocalyptic role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks in 2015. The game is set in a devastated Boston in the year 2287, 210 years after a nuclear war that destroyed most of civilization. The player character is the Sole Survivor, who emerges from a long-term cryogenic stasis in Vault 111, an underground nuclear fallout shelter. The player can explore the open world, complete quests, craft items, build settlements, and interact with various factions and characters.
One of the features of Fallout 4 is the ability to use mods, which are user-created modifications that alter or add new content to the game. Mods can enhance the gameplay experience by adding new weapons, armor, quests, locations, characters, graphics, and more. However, using mods also disables achievements, which are in-game rewards for completing certain tasks or challenges. Achievements are tracked by Steam, the online platform that distributes Fallout 4 for PC users. Many players enjoy collecting achievements as a way of measuring their progress and showing off their skills.
Fortunately, there are ways to enable achievements with mods in Fallout 4. In this article, we will show you two methods that you can use to re-enable achievements while using mods. Both methods require some technical knowledge and involve modifying some files in your game folder. Please make sure to backup your game files before attempting any of these methods, as they may cause errors or crashes if done incorrectly.
Method 1: Achievements Mods Enabler
The first method is to use a mod called Achievements Mods Enabler, which is available on Nexus Mods, a popular website for Fallout 4 mods. This mod patches Fallout4.exe during runtime to re-enable achievements while using mods. It does not require F4SE (Fallout 4 Script Extender), a tool that some mods need to work properly. It also works on already modded saves, so you don't have to start a new game to use it.
To install Achievements Mods Enabler, follow these steps:
- Download the mod from [Nexus Mods] and extract the zip file to a folder of your choice.
- Copy the files "Achievements.dll" and "Achievements.ini" from the extracted folder to your Fallout 4 game folder (usually located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4).
- Run Fallout 4 as usual and enjoy your achievements with mods.
If you want to uninstall Achievements Mods Enabler, simply delete the files "Achievements.dll" and "Achievements.ini" from your Fallout 4 game folder.
Method 2: Achievements
The second method is to use another mod called Achievements, which also re-enables achievements while using mods. This mod uses F4SE to patch Fallout4.exe during runtime. It may work with future updates as long as F4SE is updated for your game version. However, it may not work on already modded saves, so you may have to start a new game to use it.
To install Achievements, follow these steps:
- Download F4SE from [its official website] and extract the zip file to your Fallout 4 game folder.
- Download Achievements from [Nexus Mods] and extract the zip file to your Fallout 4 game folder.
- Run Fallout 4 using f4se_loader.exe (located in your Fallout 4 game folder) and enjoy your achievements with mods.
If you want to uninstall Achievements, simply delete the file "achievements.dll" from your Data\F4SE\Plugins folder.
Conclusion
In this article, we have shown you how to enable achievements with mods in Fallout 4 using two different methods. Both methods are easy to follow and require only a few minutes of your time. However, please be aware that using mods may affect your game performance or stability, and may conflict with other mods or updates. Always backup your game files before installing any mods, and use them at your own risk. We hope you found this article helpful and enjoy your Fallout 4 experience with achievements and mods.
